Entertainer and musician Pat Shortt and his old friend, Stockton’s Wing frontman Mike Hanrahan, take a musical road trip around Ireland to discover the history behind some of our greatest songs. Then, they perform those songs in local venues with both new and established local musicians.
Combining music, history, travel and craic, SONGS OF IRELAND is a unique musical journey not to be missed.
